Not as fun as Uglies, but (obviously) that series wasn't steampunk at all. He does a great job of balancing historical fiction with many elements of what the world would be like had we been slightly more advanced in some ways. I love the Darwinists use of chimerism to create their war crafts out of animals and ecosystems versus the machine world mimicking animals in their steam-driven gadgets. It's a fun read, if a little slow at times, but he does a wonderful job of painting a wonderous (and very steampunk) world. I read Leviathan. i thought it was a good read.
